Jonesville Landing

Jonesville Landing is a boat ramp providing access to the Little River in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana. This access point serves as a launch for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore a significant waterway in east central Louisiana, located near the Catahoula National Wildlife Refuge and Bayou Cocodrie National Wildlife Refuge.

The Little River is a large river system (Stream Order 7) with substantial flow averaging 6,574 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of 2.72 feet per second. With a moderate gradient of 16.2 feet per mile, paddlers should be prepared for moderate current conditions. The river drains a 4,201 square-mile watershed and offers approximately 91 miles of water to explore, with abundant wildlife viewing opportunities in the nearby refuge areas.

Before launching, paddlers should check current water conditions and flow rates, as the river's significant average discharge means conditions can vary seasonally. The location near major wildlife refuges makes this an excellent access point for nature-focused paddling trips and fishing expeditions.
